Causes memory leaks

This function doesn’t free the memory allocated to the element in the JsonBuffer.

This is a conscious design decision made to keep the JsonBuffer fast and small, which is a fundamental principle of the library.

As a consequence, you cannot remove and add elements in a loop, otherwise the JsonBuffer will overflow.

Don’t try to keep the state of your application in a JsonObject, instead use custom structures.
